The Press: The Syndicated Times

Each afternoon at 4 o'clock, the New York Times switches on a bank of
Teletype transmitters that, for eight hours and in eight languages,
carry a steady selection of stories that will appear in the next
morning's Times. On the receiving end are some 70 daily newspapers in
the U.S. and 16 other countries, with an estimated total readership of
25 million, ranging from Seattle to Seoul. They are subscribers to the
Times News Service, and they pay for the privilege of seeing in advance
and, if they wish, printing Times stories.
